Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disorder caused by abnormal carbohydrate metabolism with a consequent hyperglycemia status, occurring from deciencies in insulin secretion, action, or both [1]. Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes, comprising 80–90% of all the cases [2]. α-Glucosidase plays an important role in carbohydrate metabolism and is therefore an attractive therapeutic target for the treatment of diabetes, especially type 2 diabetes [1]. Currently, four α-glucosidase inhibitors are therapeutically used: acarbose, miglitol, voglibose, and emiglitate [3]. However, these inhibitors are associated with side-effects such as flatulence, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. This demands the need for the development of new α-glucosidase inhibitors with minimal side effects and better efficacy. As part of our ongoing endeavor in exploring natural products for novel α-glucosidase inhibitors [4–9], we studied the fungal-derived cyclodipeptides, which showed potent activity and attracted our attention [7].In the present work, the one strain many compounds (OSMAC) strategy was applied to the fungus Neosatorya fischeri NRRL 181 whose genome was sequenced and annotated to harbor gene clusters responsible for the biosynthesis of cyclodipeptides. As guided by the characteristic UV absorptions, three aszonalenin derivatives 1–3were isolated and charicterized from the fungus cultured in liquid medium containing 20 g/L dextrose, 10 g/L malt extract, and 4 g/L yeast extract. Compounds 1–3 were evaluated for the in vitro α-glucosidase inhibitory activity together with a structurally related compound asterrelenin (4) that was obtained from A. terreus in our previous study [10]. Compounds 1, 2, and 4 exhibited potent α-glucosidase inhibitory activity as compared with the positive control acarbose (Table 1). The preliminary structure–activity relationship was discussed. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of aszonalenin derivatives as α-glucosidase inhibitors. In addition, results of the Lineweaver-Burk plots experiment suggested that compound 1 inhibited the activity of α-glucosidase in a noncompetitive manner, which is different from acarbose, known as a competitive inhibitor of α-glucosidase (Fig. 1).
